A team of local professionals worked together to create this styled shoot

When we saw these gorgeous images land in our inbox, we just knew our lovely readers would adore them. We spoke to the shoot coordinators Chris Andrews Photography and Hayley Rees from Misselthwaite Flowers Ltd to find out more: "We were all feeling quite down about weddings being cancelled during the pandemic, so we decided to come together to create this styled shoot. Chris suggested Ogmore by Sea Beach, which was perfect for sunset shots and his brilliant shooting style. Hayley used the ocean as inspiration for the artificial bouquet and flower crown that reflected the waves and unpredictability of the sea. We used a charity shop wedding dress to create this shoot, and it all worked together perfectly."

One in seven couples choose sleep over sex on their wedding night

As the UK's spring and summer wedding season begins, new research by Mattress Online suggests the traditional idea of a passion-filled wedding night doesn't always match reality, with one in six couples (15%) saying they did not have sex after their big day. To understand why, the bed experts also asked survey respondents what their reasoning was behind this. They also provided additional insight on the idea of the "wedding night" from Relationship Expert, Jenni Trent Hughes. The findings show that exhaustion was by far the most common factor, with more than two in five (44%) of couples saying they were simply too tired after the celebrations. As weddings often involve early starts, long days, emotional highs, and late nights, rest is a more realistic priority than romance once newlyweds are in bed.
